Is there a speaker harness available to upgrade stock speakers, or do I have to hard wire them in? thanks

 

goto Best Buy, they are like $5. I think 98-up Ford speaker adapters work.

 

Sweet, any one know of any other places that might carry them? thanks

 

How about "CarDomain.com"

 

Speaker harness? I've never heard of that before. I've heard of a harness for the decks but not the speakers. What is this?

 

They're usually a plastic connector with 2 wires leading out, on the other end of the wires are speaker connection terminals. The molded plastic piece connects to the factory plug. -which is normally connected to the original speaker.

They just simplify installation, no worries for polarity/color and no cutting required

 

I'm replacing my door speakers tonight, are these required or can I hard wire them?

 

as long as you are sure of the polarity, you can hardwire them. What I did with mine was to unsolder the plug from the factory speaker and solder it to the new one. Just makes for a neater install.
